With their many original designs, Gear Essentials continues to knock it out of the park. In this case, the Strut ring is the Torque’s little brother. Masculine in its industrial look with brushed stainless steel, it’s an adornment that looks great on you.
Gear Essentials is known for their comfortable rings and this one is no exception with the smoothly radiused inner profile and light weight. This adornment is a worthy member of the collection thanks to the clean, matte black finish and stylish raised center ridge.
This classic donut ring is a must have in any collection. With the smoothly radiused inner profile and nicely rounded outer profile leading into oval edges, comfort is practically guaranteed. Available in many sizes, my collection has one in several sizes to fit my mood.
The weight of the ring always reminds you that it is there and the thick width and wider height keeps pinching to a minimum even under tight jeans. Get one in several sizes!
Available from several sellers on AliExpress, this rainbow stained ring is a lassic, but basic, ring dressed up with a fancier paint job. The ring itself is comfortable and the finish doesn’t seem to be affected by oils on the body. It’s a solid entry into the collection.
The Banshee comes screaming to you from Ballistic Metal with everything you expect from their signature styles and clever designs. In this installment, the ring is carved from the typical aluminum block and notched around the edges creating a crisp inlay and “spokes”.
The width and height of the ring as well as the rounded edges ensure a comfortable fit for all day and all night wearing for those so inclined.
The Gear Essentials Half Screw ring is just like the Plunge, one of my all time favorites as far as comfort and style.
In this case, the Half Screw looks just like it says on the tin: a polished set of screw threads for your member.
This eminently wearable and terrifically comfortable ring is an easy addition to any collection.
Coming in at a little less than a quarter of a pound, the Designer Series Double Accent ring from Ballistic Metal is a site to behold. The two rubber accents neatly offset the stainless steel providing for a handsome and elegant visage. As with many of the Ballistic Metal originals, this ring isn’t afraid of going after some wind. 3/4 of an inch creates a gorgeous bulge under whatever pants you may be wearing.
Weighing next to nothing, but shouting its style clearly with one look is what the GRIPZ ring is great at. The cool, sharp look of the aluminum is offset by a textured rubber inlay giving a manly and industrial style.
The ring itself is relatively comfortable, but not AS comfortable as some of the larger rings in the Ballistic Metal lineup. This is to be expected with the diminutive proportions of the height and width. Despite this, the ring still wears comfortably and would look great under a pair of jeans or carpenter whites
As an experienced collector, I’ve long wanted a tapered ring that draws the eye from a wide base to a tightly and well presented package… and sure enough, Ballistic Metal delivered.
The tapered ring reduces in size by about 1/4" depending on the size you order. Each edge is accentuated with a slight “bulge” leading to the edge to give a more decorative impression. The 2oz weight is negligible given that this ring is made of lightweight aluminum, but the nearly 1" width of the band definitely makes for a commanding display. As with other rings bearing such a band, this leads to a pronounced package - with the common downside of more pinching under tighter clothes when worn all day.
